Autism Therapy in Concord, NH: Improving Communication & Skills
Comprehensive ABA therapy focused on improving communication for autistic children in New Hampshire. Our BCBA-certified team in Concord helps children develop essential communication skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and reach their full potential through evidence-based autism therapy.
What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Understanding autism and how ABA therapy helps
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially, and processes sensory information. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms and levels of impairment, which is why it is referred to as a "spectrum." Some children may have significant language delays and require substantial daily support, while others may have advanced vocabularies but struggle with social nuances and emotional regulation.
Common features of autism include differences in social communication (like difficulty with eye contact or understanding sarcasm), restricted or repetitive behaviors (such as hand-flapping or lining up toys), and intense interests in specific topics. Many autistic individuals also experience sensory sensitivities, finding certain sounds, lights, or textures overwhelming.
At Buzz ABA in Concord, NH, we view autism through a neurodivergent lens. We understand that your child's brain works differently, and that's not a deficit to be fixed, but a unique perspective to be understood. Our goal is not to change who your child is, but to provide them with the functional tools they need for improving communication, navigating the world, and living a happy, independent life. We provide personalized ABA therapy programs designed specifically for your child's individual needs, goals, and learning style.
Improving Communication for Autistic Children in NH
Improving communication in autism is one of the most impactful goals of ABA therapy. Many children with autism struggle to express their needs, leading to frustration and challenging behaviors. Our therapists in New Hampshire use evidence-based strategies including:
- Verbal Behavior (VB) training – Teaching functional communication through mands (requests), tacts (labels), and intraverbals (conversational responses)
- AAC device training – Supporting non-verbal or minimally verbal children with communication devices and apps
- PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) – Building foundational requesting skills through picture exchange
- Natural Environment Teaching – Practicing communication skills in real-life contexts at home and in the community
Our focus on improving communication for autistic children in NH helps reduce frustration, increase independence, and build meaningful connections with family and peers.
